I'm not going to fight against this war any longer.
I'm not going to fight against this war any longer. From now on I will work to fund the war. No more passing the bills along to my children and
grandchildren. I want Congress to fund the war and raise taxes to do it. Since this war is so damn popular with the Republicans I'm SURE they
would love to be paying the bills for it. Do away with the Bush tax cut IMMEDIATELY. Put all that money into the Iraq sink hole. I'm stopping at my
Congressman's office this afternoon to register my new position.

7. I want to stop death
I now think the best way to stop the war is to raise taxes to pay for it.

9. That idea has been offered before
Frankly, I don't believe our Congress is smart enough to understand the reasoning here.

5. You have the idea
We've let them squander the future of our country. Play the money card now.
That should bring the hawks down to earth.

4. You sound as if you think you have a choice
You don't. This is a DEMOCRACY, and that means the rich can do whatever they want while the rest of us pay for it. Got it?

10. The US needs to return to the tax rates for the TOP 1% of 1955-1960........
and that would be only the beginning.
